The Press Hotel, Autograph Collection

The Press Hotel in Portland's historic Old Port offers luxury accommodation with an interesting riff on the boutique hotel format: built around a vintage newsroom theme, the hotel features its own art gallery, home to works by various local artists, as well as a vintage typewriter installation. Handcrafted cocktails are to be savoured at the hotel's exclusive Inkwell Bar, which is ideal for a drink before dining at the Union restaurant, which serves the freshest food produced by local farmers and fishermen. Once you have retired for the night, you'll see that the guest bedrooms come complete with stunning marble bathrooms, 1920s journalists' desks, and reeded glass doors inspired by great American newsrooms of the past. Think hardwood floors, sweeping city vistas illuminated by twinkling lights, and your own private library (in the Deluxe King rooms).
